Hello, I apologise for having another issue here. I reckon the lads have grown tired of my posts š«¤
I donāt know if its on my end or not. The issue is with custom post types. Specifically the Wordpress function Register Post Type within Pinegrow. I was following one of Adamās tutorials on Youtube till I ran into this issue. My custom post type is named āMenuāsā. I appears on the menu bar as it should but the only issue is that once I click on āNew Menuā the next page is in the classic Gutenberg editor. Not the new version. I am running 6.1. I hardcode a custom post type and I have the latest Gutenberg editor with no issues. What am I missing here? I see in functions.php rest\_api =\> true. I obviously have the box ticked as you can see in the screenshot. Is there a method to connect a current custom post type I have coded myself to content in Pinegrow or is it best I hardcode it?

Hi there.
Out of my depth here but have you tried it with
_Menus_
Instead of _Menu_ **ā** _s_?
Iām not sure (ie, have no idea) if that will make a difference but I did notice Adam posting about Gutenberg blocks haveing issues with **ā**

@schpengle Did you just tag me in a post and say something about a ācompetent adult?ā cāmonā¦ you should know better!
The only thing you are missing is to tell it to support the editor. Without that, you get the old classic-style page.

_Probably_ ā¦ the bestā¦

Hi @schpengle I did try that myself but no luck.Thank you though. Are you on the drink sir? lol š
adamslowe thank you for your lovely videos Iāve learnt very much from them indeed. I was driving home from work through mad Irish mountain roads and it did occur to me I may need to add a specific field. And that was the remedy, once I added the āEditorā field I finally had the new Gutenberg editor. Your a proper gent, many thanks for your wisdom. I feel like a bit of an eejit for not trying that myself š
